hello everyone, I wanted to see if anybody knows what this is and if its real, it has very old silk embroidery on the front over gilt-brass or copper sheets with dragons, the back is lined with blue silk. I assume it is a chinese breastplate or backplate but real or theatrical? it has the one wing on one side and not on the other which is odd. Any help gratefully received, thanks.

Could you show more pictures of the armor?

Compare it with these two suits of ceremonial armour:
